Panel sessions considered how the SDGs informed decision-making in Scotland and globally; the role of AI and new technology in progressing the SDGs; and how we could inspire more public understanding and support. The conference was chaired by Hermione Cockburn, Scientific Director at Dynamic Earth and Broadcaster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We hope you enjoyed this exciting and informative event, where you had the chance to connect with other professionals, experts, and practitioners working on the SDGs, share your experiences and challenges, and learn from best practices and success stories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you
